About This Book
Reach for this book when your child feels like they are 'doing it wrong' or struggling to meet expectations that don't fit their personality. It is an ideal choice for the student who works hard but feels out of step with the standard definition of success. The story follows Isabelle, a determined but unconventional fairy godmother in training, as she tries to help Nora, a girl who does not even believe in magic. While the setting is whimsical and full of glittery mishaps, the emotional core addresses the pressure of high stakes testing and the anxiety of not fitting in. It normalizes the feeling of being a 'clumsy' learner while celebrating the 'gusto' it takes to keep trying. Parents will appreciate how it reframes failure as a necessary step toward discovering one's unique strengths. It is a lighthearted yet meaningful read for ages 8 to 11.
